Swede or Rutabaga

Ah the Swedish turnip whilst they have edible leaves the Bathurst ones will just be the bulb. They have a nutty flavour packed with potassium, niacin, calcium and fibre.

Store in a cool, dark, dry spot up to 3 weeks.

Herbs that compliment a swede are parsley, thyme, mint and because they have a nutty taste great with mushrooms.

There are many ways to cook these – great as fritters, puddings, pancakes, casseroles and in soups.
